Not steel guitar, but great jazz in La Jolla, CA

John McClung · From: Olympia WA, USA

Just learned this morning of a great jazz music series happening at the La Jolla Athenaeum Library. Monday, April 18 features harmonica/whistling/guitar maestro Toots Thielmans, with Kenny Werner on piano, and bossa nova pioneer Oscar Castro-Neves on guitar. Man, I'm tempted to stay over a few days more in nearby Oceanside (for Jim Palenscar's steel store's grand opening hoedown) just to catch this great show!

Then on Wed., May 18, it's the Anthony Wilson Nonet. Wilson is an incredibly fluid and innovative jazz player, I highly recommend you check him out on the beautiful DVD, "Diana Krall: Live in Paris," your draw will jop.

i saw that trio several weeks ago... incredible... toots, as usual, is way-cool... never seen oscar castro-neves but he layed down such a hard groove it was incredible (i dug up all my bossa nova albums when i got home that night)... kenny werner is one of my favorites and i hate to say it (kudos to the other two) was the highlight. really a lot of fun and highly recommended.
certainly.

Absolutely in agreement with youse..

I saw them this past fall at Lincoln Center and they also had the percussionist Airto with them.

Yes, Kenny Werner is a genious on the keyboards and piano.
